A floor plan is the way a three-dimensional object, such as a house, is represented on a flat piece of paper. It is usually drawn to scale, meaning while objects are drawn smaller than they are in real life, they are still the same size in relation to each other.

Floor plans allow an architect to see all the things that are going to be inside of a new building. Floor plans include not only the rooms that will be included in the new stucture, but other important details such as where the windows, doors, pipes and places for the electricity will have to be built.
